Does your book give any history of a newspaper in Covington around 1857? My husband's
grgrgrandfather Mitchell Vaul was a newspaperman who lived there for a while. We visited
there a couple of years ago, but all we have is that he and his wife Susan buried a
young son in Oak Grove Cemetery in 1857 and she remarried in 1861 to an Ambrose
Winans.(we have no info on what happened to Mitchell Vaul) They were in the 1870
census there with sons Freemont & Arthur Vaul (my husband's gr grandfather)and 2
Winans daughters. When we were there we had not yet discovered that he was a newspaperman
(printer and in 1859-60 owner in Tuscola,Coles Co.IL). Any mention in the history book?
Thanks, Donna
